Hacking Homebrew to write GBA binary to Flash2Advance cart?

ItsMetaKnight · Aug 23, 2008

is there a tool for NDS that lets me write my F2A cart using my R4 card?
thanks in advance

Thanks alot Psyfira!
Doesnt work with F2A Ultra, but does work with old F2A! Thanks.

Homepage is at http://code.google.com/p/fas1/ for future reference.

Good to meet a fellow F2A Ultra user. They're rather hard to find nowadays. Shame you have to manually hex-edit the rom database in order to get savestates to work in PocketNES, Goomba, etc.

This forum helped me a lot. So here's what I just did. BTW I used a R4 and f2a (not ultra)

First off I downloaded fas1 (http://code.google.com/p/fas1/).
Second I got the legend of zelda a link to the past/four swords.gba (actually had this one already)
Third i got GBA tool Advance (http://www.no-intro.org/tools.htm)
Now I used GBATA to patch zelda to SRAM because it uses EEPROM for saves and the f2a doens't have that.
At last I followed the instructions from fas1 (make a GBA map on your R4 or fas1 doens't recognise it)

I am going to give a try, I never knew that was possible, that's awesome. I wonder if works with GB brigde as well.

that homebrew was written by smiths, of AKAIO fame.

it should not support the flash2advance:

PLEASE NOTE: THIS DOES NOT WORK WITH FLASH2ADVANCE (F2A) CARTRIDGES The library for flashing a f2a cart is in ucon64, and can be found here: http://www.koders.com/c/fidC5AEE87302951FF4854331F1B326B3ADEEC05D48.aspx

so i'm rather curious. i wish i had asked the OP in 2008 if they were sure that they had a flash2advance, because this flashing software has never worked with my f2a.

fas1 does work on my 256m f2a cart and detected it as a "Turbo FA 256M", same as flashadvance pro.

I tried yesterday on my Flash Advance Card Xtreme 64, it did work but it erased all the GB and GBC games I had for my GB bridge.

hmm, does it work for 128M aswell. I just tried this new tutorial. And I read on github 1.7b should work with 128M aswell. But i get error message
